Indian Indices Plunge Amid Global Weakness and Banking Selloff
What happened
Indian stock markets experienced a sharp selloff on Monday, with the Sensex falling 1.17% and the Nifty 50 dropping 1.11%. The decline was attributed to heavy selling in banking stocks, weak global markets, and elevated crude oil prices. The market crash erased nearly Rs 5 lakh crore of investor wealth during the session.

Why it matters
Negative global cues added to domestic weakness, as the Nasdaq fell 2.19% and Asian markets traded lower. Banking stocks, including HDFC Bank, faced selling pressure following second-quarter results due to investor concerns over net interest margins and slower earnings growth.
Global market sentiment had previously affected Indian indices, with the IT sector seeing gains driven by company earnings.
